HOW TO ASSEMBLE YOUR V-Trap™

A) Assemble the brushes to the main body

Assemble the brushes to the notches at the corner of the body and

insert the brushes at the angle as shown. Make sure all brushes are

secured under the hook on the notch. (Fig.1)

Note: Do not use the cleaner without the brushes.

B) Assemble the poles to the handle

1. Select a sufficient number of the pole sections to suit your pool

size. Total length should allow both hands to grip during operation.

The first pole section has a threaded connector on one end.

The last section is the one with the plastic cap on the end.

2. Insert the first section (with threaded connector) into the handle

and push it inside until it stops. Turn the pole section clockwise to

fasten it to the handle. (Fig.2)

3. Next, assemble the other sections by inserting the smaller end of

one section into the larger end of the next one, finishing with the

section that has the plastic cap. Slide together until grooved areas

is fully inserted. (Fig.3)

The V-Trap™ handle is also equipped with V clip that connects to any

standard telescopic pole (not included). Press the V clip to retract its

side pins, then slide and align the holes of the telescopic pole with the

side pins of the V clip. Release the V clip, and the telescopic pole is

locked in position on the handle. (Fig.4)

C) Assemble the hose to the main body

The V-Trap™ hose cuff fits both 38mm (1½in) hose (not included) and

32mm (1¼in) hose included in this kit.

Assemble the hose by connecting all hose sections with hose

connectors. (Fig.5)

It is recommended to do this under water to remove all entrapped air.

After assembling all hose sections, immerse the main body under the

water. When bubbles stop coming from the main unit, connect the

open end of the hose to the hose cuff of the body and slide on as far

as it can go. (Fig.6)

D) Connect the V-Trap™ to the pool outlet

WARNING! TURN OFF the pump before

connecting V-Trap™ to the pool outlet.

1) If you have a surface wall skimmer: Take the open end of the hose

and connect it onto the vacuum plate of your skimmer. Slide the

hose as far as it can go and apply clamp (not included) to secure

it on the vacuum plate. (Fig.7)

2.) If you have a wall skimmer, check your pool manual or pool dealer

for instructions on how to remove the skimmer weir. Place a skimmer

vacuum plate (not included, check with your pool dealer for the correct

model with a cuff connection to fit a 1¼in / 32mm soft hose) over the

skimmer filter basket. Connect the open end of the hose to the

vacuum plate cuff, and slide it on as far as it can go. (Fig.8)

IMPORTANT! Make sure the pool water level is over the vacuum plate,

otherwise it will suck-in air during operation.

NOTE: The vacuum plate shown in (Fig.8) diagrams is for demonstration

only. Please contact your pool dealer for the correct model.

A vacuum plate with a 90 degree elbow is recommended.

3) If you don’t have a wall skimmer: 5 connectors (G1/G2/G3/G4/G5) are

provided in the kit to fit the 9 most common types of strainer (see below)

used in above ground pools. According to the strainer used in your pool,

select and attach the correct one to the strainer. Tighten by hand only.

NOTE: For above ground pools with 2 pool water outlets, while connecting

the cleaner to one of the water outlets according to the cleaner

instruction manual, follow pool instruction manual to block the other

water outlet.

For example, use pool plug to block the outlet or set the control valve

(eg. plunger valve) if available to the closed position. Otherwise, it will

weaken the water flow inside the cleaner and then adversely affect the

cleaner performance such as capturing less debris.

WARNING! Turn off the pump before closing the water outlet.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR V-Trap™

When your V-Trap™ is ready, turn your pump ON and start using V-Trap™ to clean the bottom of your pool.

Your V-Trap™ is made to vacuum debris from the bottom of your pool.

The internal pre-filter is designed to trap leaves and larger debris, which could otherwise clog the filter of your pool. Make sure to

empty this pre-filter regularly to ensure the maximum suction power .

NOTE: Never use your V-Trap™ without the pre-filter. Failure to do so may clog the filter of your pool.

IMPORTANT: Trapped air in your vacuum system may prevent the pump from operating correctly. In this case, if your pump has

a release valve, open it to let air escape until only water comes out from it and then close the valve.
